    Hi forks I’m looking into lifting my 2020 Tacoma TRD 4x4. More for looks!

    Any suggestions I have 265/70R16 stock rims for now might go up in highs One inch 275 /75 of tire TA type tire.

    the Toyota store said just lift front 2ich or 3/1 but a friend said go 3/2

    many one have this lifts and happy or wish went different?

    thanks
    Pete

    Don't forget the UCA's if going over 2 and want any type of caster.

    Good thing there are no lift threads to search for here OP LOL.

    Seriously though, the are hundreds of threads on lifts that I read though over a few months time. It truly helped me out decided what I went with.

    Best of luck OP, the mod bug has got ya. Go ahead and torch wallet lol. :D Take care.

    Bilstien 5100s paired with OME 887 coils, Bilstein 5160 remote reservoirs in the rear with a single leaf AAL, KO2 tires. I wanted to keep the lift subtle so it it ended up being 2 inches in the front and 1.5 in for the rear. Super happy with it. I did seriously though read months worth of threads on here for lift and tires. Exhausting but it helped out a lot. Take care.

    A 2 inch up front and a one inch in the back is ideal. You cv axels and pinion angles will thank you later, better alignment and less chance of vibrations. Bilstein 5100 are great, awesome ride and a step up above spacers which TW has plenty of haters, I see them as ok for street and light off road. Gets some 5100s and never look back.

    I went 3 front, 2 rear, and am glad I did. I fit 285/70/17 with no rubbing (though we will see off road), and have the option to lower front coilovers and remove a leaf if I ever drop weight from the truck.

    Hard top camper...many more to add+
    Rough country makes a coilovers 3.5 lift for the front and 2 inch rear..
    I have the Bilstein 2.5 front and 1.5 rear…running BFG A/T 275/70r/17 I had some tire rubs..had a CMC and both front tires move 1/2 forward…it help a lot..

    it seems a true 3.5 front and 2 inch rear…will allow for up to 33’s. ..
    So if there is a …next time..maybe I will consider the R/C 3.5 lift system…
    Aloha

    The Rough Country 3 1/2" lift actually has a 2 1/2" lift in back (not 2") using the N3 shocks and Rear Leaf Springs option. I am interested in the kit that includes the UCAs and leaf springs, but wish I could find more reviews on the longevity of Rough Country products.
